So what is DreamSpark exactly? It is a student program that will make a broad range of development and design software available to students for free! The program is available now currently in Belgium, China, Finland, France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland,
UK, and the US.

The Discussion

I'm in high school, I tried to jump the hoops required to get this software and ended up at a page that says they do NOT yet support high school students, only students at colleges and universities.

It's great to see Microsoft finally realizing that high school and college students steal software so why not give it to them. At the same time, they're also potentially boosting the number of computer geeks, which would be great! (in a high school of 3,000, I'm one of maybe 5 students that can write computer programs)

I look forward to the day, hopefully sometime soon, when they allow high school students too.

Its great to see Microsoft finally helping students. I'm Still in high school and wish Microsoft would help us by giving us the same resources. Like Ricky in a comment a little ways up i am one of very few that can write programs, can my principle or department head email you guys and verify my enrollment in my school so i to can share in this opportunity? My principal would happily email you. I hope i get a fast response, hope to hear from you soon,
